Search engines rank the results by deciding which website, video, or<br \/>\nimage is most relevant to the user. Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is an important<br \/>\nway in which you can take advantage of the algorithms used by these search engines<br \/>\nto make sure your content comes out on top.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">While most websites simply make sure that certain keywords relevant to their potential<br \/>\nvisitor are dotted across every page, it takes a lot more than constant keyword repetition<br \/>\nto make a for an effective SEO plan. It also takes an efficient, dedicated social<br \/>\nengagement strategy.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Search Engines Care a Lot About Visibility on Social Media<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">From the 1.39 billion active monthly Facebook users, to the 40 million registered<br \/>\nusers on Vimeo as well as everything beyond and in-between, social media is a<br \/>\nhuge potential pool of customers, even for the most specialized of websites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Link building, or creating as many links as possible to your website, is no longer<br \/>\nthe most effective way to drive up search engine rankings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">These days many search engines would rather take into account the number of people<br \/>\nTweet-ing, Yelp-ing, and blogging about your business. Google, for example, is all about<br \/>\nthe value you bring to customers. So you can claim up and down that yours is the best<br \/>\nonline store on the web, but if you don&#8217;t have the numbers, the search engines don&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Search Engines Do not Like Spam<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Many search engines are wary of spam. They are just as dedicated as you are to<br \/>\nmaking sure that users get the information they are looking for, instead of just social<br \/>\nmedia accounts with links to more links and click-bait. Search engines do not just<br \/>\ncare about visibility on social media, but about the authenticity of that visibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Social media users tweeting organically about your service are far more valuable to<br \/>\nyour search engine rankings than spamming your social media accounts with links back<br \/>\nto your website. Search engines are a business too, and they want to make sure that<br \/>\nthe service they offer is effective.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Social Media Users Trust Each Other More Than &#8220;Marketers&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Imagine if a person you didn&#8217;t know, told you to use a service you had never heard of.<br \/>\nNow imagine if your friend asked you to use the same service. That is the difference<br \/>\nbetween you doing marketing for your website &amp; social media doing the marketing for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Social media users exist in interconnected webs, whether online or in real life. Penetrating<br \/>\na social media circle does not just mean connecting with the two or three dozen people<br \/>\nwithin that circle. It means connecting with friends, family, admirers, and even fans. Not<br \/>\nonly will putting your marketing in the hands of social media increase traffic to your<br \/>\nwebsite, but it will also improve your search engine rankings in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Conclusion<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Not only is social media a quick and easy way to produce more traffic, it is also a valuable,<br \/>\ncrowd sourcing SEO tool. Engaging with social media allows you to reach out to, get to know,<br \/>\nand grow your audience online. In increasing your authenticity and visibility online, your<br \/>\nbusiness becomes an entity that both potential customers and search engines can trust.<\/p>\n<p><center>[contact-form to=&#8221;dave@imjustice.net&#8221; subject=&#8221;SEO Marketing Can Make or Break You In Business&#8221;][contact-field label=&#8221;Name&#8221; type=&#8221;name&#8221; required=&#8221;1&#8243;][contact-field label=&#8221;Email&#8221; type=&#8221;email&#8221; required=&#8221;1&#8243;][contact-field label=&#8221;Website&#8221; type=&#8221;url&#8221;][contact-field label=&#8221;Let&#8217;s start a conversation TODAY about how SEO can help!&#8221; type=&#8221;textarea&#8221;][\/contact-form]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wby.30a.myftpupload.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8016\" src=\"https:\/\/wby.30a.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/blogging-about-marketing.png\" alt=\"IMJustice Marketing tips strategies ideas business consultant expert agency\" width=\"736\" height=\"330\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch a video on this topic by clicking on the below image &nbsp; Why Social Engagement is Important for SEO Search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo are the most popular ways in which people search the Internet.
